Artist: Mrs. Monmonier Rowe; oil on canvas
Monmonier Rowe was born in 1860 on Deal Island in Somerset County,
Maryland. He attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimore and
received his MD in 1889. He returned to Deal Island and maintained an active
practice there until 1902.
Dr. Rowe became a member of the Faculty in 1890. He was a Major in the 5th
Regiment Armory and the portrait, which was painted by his wife, shows him in
military uniform.
In 1902, Dr. Rowe moved to Baltimore and opened an office at 1825 E.
Baltimore Street which he kept until his death from nephritis in 1911.
The portrait was
given to MedChi in 1981 by Dr. Elizabeth Lloyd White, a granddaughter of Dr.
Rowe.
